What Appleton Homeowners Should Know About Tick Exposure This Summer

Ticks are often found in the woods, and they are becoming more common in backyards. Help defend yourself with Appleton tick control from Mosquito Squad Plus

Have you heard about ticks in the news recently? Summer always gives rise to more and more coverage about these tiny parasites, thanks to their increase in activity during this season, and there’s a great reason why. Ticks, despite their minuscule size, are becoming a real public health threat throughout the nation due to the spread of Lyme disease, Alpha-gal syndrome, and other dangerous illnesses that are caused by ticks and the bacteria they harbor. Gone are the times when a tick bite could be brushed off as a mere annoyance. No tick bite is necessarily safe, considering the huge variety of diseases ticks carry now, and removing them from your skin should always be done as soon as possible. Lyme disease, unlike some of the other conditions ticks carry, won’t transmit until 24-48 hours after a tick latches on, so there is a significant window for you to find and pull them off. Unfortunately, an allergy like Alpha-gal, or another bacterial disease, can become a reality for you within minutes of a tick biting you, so keeping these parasites at bay is more important than ever. 

Ticks: Where to Find and Repel Them with Appleton Tick Control

Ticks, while already widespread in our region, are becoming a growing issue due to warmer weather that allows them to push their traditional borders in all directions as their populations swell. These tiny parasites are remarkably resilient, allowing them to overwinter in Wisconsin, and milder winters mean more ticks survive and are ready to reproduce come spring. Public health officials across the nation are sounding the alarm bells to bring awareness about the serious, potentially lifelong consequences of a tick bite, so now is the time to take action and fight back against ticks.
